The SOA takes a proactive stance in strengthening the role of the academic community in supporting the profession. Fortifying the academic base of the profession is important to foster and promote knowledge development, knowledge transfer and the health of the candidate pipeline. The SOA actively works to connect the academic community to the business community so that the development of research and other forms of intellectual capital are geared toward real-world solutions.
